Max
Moe is a 16 year-old amateur astronomer in the Northern Colorado Astronomical
Society,
our vice-president, he recently
completed observing the Herschel 400 list of objects, with his
8-inch Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain
telescope. He made drawings of every object and gave
each one a rating from1 to 10.
Dave Chamness went through Max's notebook and made a
list of 80 objects that Max
rated 7 or higher and now.....
